Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the security and effectiveness of minimal invasive fixation with 3D fluoro-images navigation in the management of acetabular fractures.MethodsFrom August 2008 to December 2010,20 patients with acetabular fractures were treated with percutaneous screw fixation under the guidance of 3D fluoro-images based on navigation system after closed reduction.There were 9 males and 11 females,aged 26-54 years old(mean,37.1±1.2 years).Fractures were caused by traffic accident in 15cases,and falling from height in 5 cases.According to AO classification,there were 2 cases of A1.1 type,3 cases of A2.2 type,4 cases of A2.3 type,2 cases of A3.2 type,2 cases of A3.3 type,2 cases of B1.1 type,2 cases of B2.2 type,1 case of B3.1 type,1 case of C2.1 type,1 case of C2.3 type.The interval from injury to hospitalization was 2-46 h (mean,8.6±0.2 h).After 3-14 days of skeletal traction through tibial tubercle,the operation was performed.ResultsTotally 46 screws were fixed.The average time for surgery was(22.6 ±1.2) min per screw.Forty-five screws were placed correctly with a successful rate of 97.8%,only one screw was reinserted for deviation.All the screws were checked by the 3D fluoro-images that they were not in the joint space after fixation.The result was same with CT scan.No incision problem and implant failure occurred.All 20 patients were followed up 12 to 28 months with an average of (22.8±1.7) months.At last follow-up,fracture union was achieved in all patients with satisfactory screw fixation.ConclusionThe minimal invasive fixation with 3D fluoro-images navigation makes the surgery for the nondisplaced acetabular fracture more precise and time-saving,minimize the surgery injury,and improves clinical results without an increasing rate of complications.
